The accident.

So as we all know dad fell off the roof yesterday. He went out about 5:00 p.m. and he called mom about 5:15. Mom ran around the house to find him and he was out by the side of the house next to my room, laying between the two trees and about 3 inches away from the gas thing on that side. He fell because he was walking backwards unwinding the strand of lights and just miscalculated and walked right off the roof. He tried to catch himself once he realized what he had done but he just fell right off. He landed on this back but I am pretty sure his right hip hit first, right on the concrete lip we have that goes around the garden. His shoulder was dislocated and layed out next to him and he couldn't move it at all. We called Bishop Greenwood over to help us and he said we shouldn't move dad and to call an ambulance (before dad was thinking of just crawling into the front seat of the car..ya right!). So mom went inside to call the paramedics. Soon they all came with their sirens on and their flashing lights. They got dad up onto the stretcher and put him into the ambulance and got his arm all set so he was capable of being transported over to the hospital. Mom followed the ambulance over and we all went over later.
He is in surgery for 1/2 a hip replacement. (on his hip and femur in his right leg). He is going to be in the hospital for 3 or so weeks and will be out of work for 1-2 months. He has to go to rehab to be able to use his shoulder so he can use a walker to walk. I'll keep updating it on more news as we find out.

Dead zone...I know

I know we haven't had any new things on this graveyard site for a long time..but that would be because I'm waiting on a new camera so I can actually take pictures and document our lives because mother obviously does not like too! But I do have some pictures from my phone of our trip to Soda Springs, our pumpkins this year and just some random ones so enjoy these! They'll probably be the last till I get a camera!! STRIKE!
